Section 1: Understanding your choices and the decisions you need to make
About this brochure Making sure you're saving enough requires knowledge and planning. That's why JPMorgan Chase provides you with some of the tools and resources you may need to help you build your investment portfolio. This brochure provides information to help you understand the investment fund choices under the 401(k) Savings Plan.
In addition, investment information and fact sheets for all investment options are provided on the 401(k) Savings Plan Web Center. The fact sheets are regularly updated on a monthly basis.
The Participant Fee Disclosure Notice is also available on the 401(k) Savings Plan Web Center. This notice is issued annually and provides detailed information regarding investment performance and the fees and expenses charged under these investment options.
Please read these materials carefully.
The JPMorgan Chase 401(k) Savings Plan has thousands of participants -- ranging from those who are not as comfortable making investment decisions to those who enjoy taking a hands-on approach to managing their money. No matter what type of investor you are, the 401(k) Savings Plan provides you with the opportunity to choose the investment strategy that's right for you.
Two ways to invest We know that making investment decisions can be overwhelming. That's why the Plan offers two distinct ways to invest -- and you pick the investment strategy that's right for you. Depending on your know-how and risk tolerance, you can choose the investment approach that meets your needs.
Target Date Funds ("No Assembly Required")
Core Funds ("Do It Yourself")
Target Date Funds offer you built-in diversification within a single investment option -- with no assembly required. These Funds provide a mix of underlying investments and, with the exception of the Target Date Income Fund, that mix automatically changes -- becoming more conservative over time -- as the Fund moves closer to its "target" date.
If you prefer to build your own portfolio, you can choose any number of Core Funds to achieve diversification among several asset classes. This strategy puts you in charge. When you choose among the Core Funds, you take the responsibility for creating a diversified mix, monitoring it regularly and rebalancing as needed.
How do you choose the right path for you? Before you get into the details of how your investment options work, you may want to take a few minutes to think about what kind of investor you are. Let's assume you are already saving for retirement in the 401(k) Savings Plan. (If you're not, there's no better time to start than today!)
If you aren't sure how to define yourself as an investor, you can get a good idea by answering a few questions. There are no right or wrong answers:
1. Do I want to select my own mix of investment funds? 2. Am I comfortable deciding how much to invest in each fund? 3. Do I have time to track my investments and make changes as needed?
The answers to these questions can help you align your choices with your preferences and goals. For example, if you answered mostly "yes" to these questions, you may want to consider using the Core Funds. If you answered mostly "no," the Target Date Funds may present an attractive option for you.

Investing approach #1:
Target Date Funds ("No Assembly Required")
Target Date Funds take a lot of the guesswork out of investment decision-making. Designed by investment professionals within Asset Management Solutions ? Multi-Asset Solutions (MAS) within JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Target Date Funds provide a mix of investments across a range of asset classes, including some not directly available in the Core Fund lineup, such as emerging markets debt and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). When you invest in a Target Date Fund, you're already diversified.
To choose a Target Date Fund, estimate the date at which you think you will begin withdrawing money from your account (generally, when you intend to retire). Then, identify the Target Date Fund that most closely aligns with the date you intend to retire (when making a decision, you should also take into account other factors, such as your goals and risk tolerance).
Each Target Date Fund, with the exception of the Target Date Income Fund, has a date in its name that corresponds to an expected "target year." With the exception of the Target Date Income Fund, the mix of investments in the fund you choose automatically rebalances -- becoming more conservative over time -- as you move closer to your estimated "target year." Please keep in mind that you should periodically review all of your investments, including your investment in the Target Date Funds, to make sure you're not overly concentrated in a particular asset class.
A note about the Target Date Funds
Because the underlying investments within each of the Target Date Funds are generally passively managed, the investment management fees are typically lower than in actively managed funds. (The fees paid by participants for each Target Date Fund are 3-5 basis points. For example, for a fund with a fee of 3 basis points (0.03%), the annual fee on a $1,000 investment would be about $0.30 annually.)
Target Date Funds with dates farthest in the future have the most aggressive investment mix. They start out investing largely in equities (stocks), but then gradually rebalance assets over time to include greater amounts of more conservative investments, such as bonds and cash alternatives. While funds with closer target dates start out with a conservative investment mix, the mix progressively becomes even more conservative as the fund's target year gets closer. However, all of the Target Date Funds, including the Target Date Income Fund, continue to invest in equities.
As with all investments, the principal value of the fund(s) is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date.

Investing approach #2:
Core Funds ("Do It Yourself")
When you invest in the Core Funds, you build your portfolio and allocate your contributions across a variety of funds that fall under two basic asset classes: fixed-income (bonds and cash alternatives) and equity (stocks). In general, fixed-income funds offer the potential for lower risk of loss and lower returns as compared to equity. Equity funds, on the other hand, offer the potential for high risk of loss with the potential for a higher return as compared to fixed income. Diversifying within an asset class can also help strengthen your portfolio, so it's important to understand the different types of investments in each of the basic asset classes.
? Fixed-income funds. The 401(k) Savings Plan offers several fixed-income funds. As you review them, you should consider their maturity and credit quality. The longer the maturity (or duration) of a fixed-income fund, the more sensitive it is to a change in interest rates. Its credit quality is a measurement of the underlying bond issuers' ability to repay the interest and principal. Generally, the higher the bond's credit rating, the lower the risk the issuer will default on its obligation to pay interest and principal.
? Equity funds. The 401(k) Savings Plan offers a wide range of equity funds, including the JPMorgan Chase Common Stock Fund. As you review your options, you should consider the market capitalization of the companies in which they invest. Market capitalization refers to a dollar value of a company's outstanding shares (determined by multiplying the number of shares by the current market price of one share). You should also consider the fund's investment style or strategy and where the fund invests -- domestically or internationally. All of these factor into the risk and return profiles of the funds.

Section 2: Back to basics
Keep your assets aligned with your investment strategy
Rebalancing means adjusting the investments in your portfolio to the intended mix of stocks, bonds and cash alternatives. If you choose to invest in the Core Funds, rebalancing your investments is your responsibility. If you choose a Target Date Fund, the allocations are regularly monitored and typically rebalanced monthly with the goal of maintaining an appropriate mix.
We encourage you to regularly review your investment strategy -- making sure your investments are aligned with your risk tolerance and that your assets are adequately diversified, taking into account your investments inside and outside of the 401(k) Savings Plan. You may wish to consult with a personal financial advisor, tax advisor or other qualified financial professional before making decisions about your investments in the Plan. In the meantime, here is a quick refresher on some of the basics you should keep in mind as you review your investment choices.
Knowing your risk tolerance As you decide how to invest your money, it's important to be aware of your tolerance for risk of loss of all or part of your principal investment -- that is, how much risk you're willing to accept in your investments. Deciding how much risk you're comfortable with depends on several factors:
?
? Your personality. Some people are naturally more conservative than others. You may want to ask yourself: "Am I willing to accept the risk that my investments may not do well in the short term but have the potential to provide high returns later on?" and "How likely is it that I can replace any money I lose?" Thinking about your answers can help guide your choices.
? Future financial resources. If you know you have other sources of income available when you retire, you might have the flexibility or willingness to take more risk with your 401(k) investments.
You also need to understand different types of risk as you are looking at your investment options:
? Market risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.
? Inflation risk. This is the likelihood the value of your investments will not keep up with inflation. Generally, inflation risk is lower in the short term, but it can have a greater impact over time.
Most investments involve a trade-off between market risk and inflation risk. Very conservative investments provide protection against market risk, but relatively little protection against the effect of inflation. Less conservative investments provide greater protection against inflation risk, but are subject to more risk in the financial markets. For information about these investment risks and many other types of investment risk, please see Section 4, "Summary of investment risks."
